Today's show is about drones in agriculture. Can agriculture prove to be a lucrative industry for drone pilots?

Our caller, Ken from NJ has come up with a detailed and thoughtful question today. With industries like real estate getting intensely competitive, what are some other lucrative opportunities for drone pilots? We discuss if providing drone services to the agriculture industry can be a viable business proposition.

How can a mapping application like Pix4Dfields help farmers save on resources? Do you need a multi-spectral camera for NDVI mapping? And, what should be your pricing strategy. We also share an advisory circular which describes the certification process for agricultural aircraft operators. This show is loaded with some great information that will certainly help you and your business. Tune in now!
